Vox Clamantis: Support for Greeks

|

To the Editor: In his op-ed ("Frat-eternity," June 20), Zachary Gottlieb states on several occasions that the administration is trying to get rid of the Greek system. If that is the case, why is the College allowing Beta Theta Pi fraternity to return to campus next fall?

Short Answer

In light of the recent announcement of the 14 members of the presidential search committee, what are your thoughts on the selection process and the composition of the committee? As a final jab to the defeated alumni, the search committee is two-thirds Board-appointed.


Opinion

What Now?

|

Many alumni and other supporters of the Parity Slate of candidates in the completed Association of Alumni elections must ask themselves what to do now.



Opinion

Frat-ernity

|

While the College on the Hill has rallied for its titularly nebulous Campaign for the Student Experience, student social life continues to grow at a less-than-precipitous pace.


Opinion

Bizarre, Bazaar

|

As I was searching for a brilliant, awe-inspiring metaphor to represent the "it's-overness" of our undergraduate years at the College on the Hill, two analogies instantly came to mind.

Plus C'est La Meme Chose ...

There's one story my mom loves to tell about her father, Herbert S. Landsman, who graduated at this Commencement 68 years ago. Her father was eating lunch at the Hanover Inn.

In Defense Of "Marriage"

|

Dear ol' California. In case the news hasn't penetrated your corner of the Bubble, California recently became the second state to uphold gay marriage in the courts, and with a Republican-appointed majority no less.

Learning to Love Israel

|

As many of us commemorate Israel's 60th year of independence, it is appropriate to reflect on our relationship, as individuals and as an educational institution, with Israel.

My Father's Suit

|

It was a gray size 40 that draped down below my knees. In fact, there was no need for pants. What should have been a tight-fitting, European designer suit looked more like a parka on my six-year-old frame. It became our routine.

Touching The Void

|

I've recently experienced my first Green Key weekend, and I have to say that it was a weekend like any other weekend, except longer and with more ennui.


Opinion

Filling Their Shoes

|

There are a number of privileges that we freshmen get to enjoy for just three terms: We can suck at pong, be unabashedly promiscuous and go frat hopping in obnoxious groups of 15, just to name a few. By the time we come back next fall as sophomores, it's expected that we'll have grown out of all this.


Opinion

Alumni For Jabberwocky?

|

As with other conservative movements, the take-over faction who has brought suit against the College is attempting to define its issues by changing the language.


Opinion

Stop And Smell The Roses

|

Green Key is over -- the ultimate sign that the end of term is near. With finals nearly in sight, I quote Dr. Seuss and ask, "How did it get so late so soon?" As a Dartmouth alum himself, Dr. Seuss would know better than any other writer how time at our College seems to fly by.

$540 A Pop

|

Dartmouth Dining Services has a pricing system that surely shocks us all. Although we have become rather apathetic about the exorbitant costs involved with eating at Dartmouth, the concept that our Declining Balance Accounts are not filled with real money cannot completely desensitize us to the costs of eating here.
